Altec 288-16H
Not much information survives on the Altec 288-16H. What the record shows comes from a dealer listing (The Music Room). It describes the 288-16H as a high-frequency driver from Altec's VOTT (Voice of the Theatre) speaker/tweeter systems, and says it is the only 288 alnico driver with a tangerine phase plug.
The documented pair had Great Plains Audio 16-ohm replacement diaphragms fitted and was sold as a matched pair. Known details:
- Type: high-frequency driver (VOTT speaker/tweeter application)
- Magnet: alnico, with tangerine phase plug
- Diaphragms: GPA 16-ohm replacements, matched pair
- Measured impedance: 10–11 ohms (dealer listing)
- Condition: very clean with minor scuffs; asking price $1,100 for the pair
The sources available give no production years, original price, frequency response, power handling, sensitivity, or dimensions.
